Jon Jones and Rampage Jackson trade verbal blows via satelite at Fight Night 25

Jones does dig a wee hole here for himself, whether its true or not, he does sound guilty

wee?

Looks like Jones had a case of stanky lip. He was about to cry.

We're Scottish

THIS is the reason why I don't like Jones as much:



He used to say it will be a great fight and that he is honoured to fight such a legendary fighter who will bring his A-Game.....

Now he says that he is goign to destroy his opponents and they will need to find and they will need to find an excuse for losing.



BRING THE OLD JON BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any trash talking coming from Jones has always sounded kinda awkward to me, like he doesn't really mean most of it. I can't help but think most of the fighters are encouraged to act that way publicly by Dana in order to promote the fights.

Hows the "Old Jon" supposed to come back, when he'll be in trouble with the company if he doesnt hype a fight as a champion?

That's obviously the case if you watched any of the vids Penn put up of how UFC makes people promote.

Rampage needs a piece of humble pie, he needs to be KTFO

guilty or not he is going to kill rampage... by the way what the fu*k is a wee hole?????

I think it's a vagina

Personally I think he sounds pissed, but is trying not to show it. Shit like has happened to me in the past where I get pissed and worked over stuff like this.

^^^^annoying isnt it a bunch of you dummies always say that about fighters who are actually humble and down to earth not just Jones. Rampage is actually one of those fighters that is ****y, arrogant, and you guys eat it up. Quit being hypocrites.

he will

Rampage has always been arrogant and ****y and has never tried to hide it. People appreciate his honesty and sense of humor.



Jones, on the other hand, tries to hide his arrogance behind a very transparent facade of fake humility, which almost everyone except you sees right through.

The only people that appreciate his honesty and sense of humor are the same ones who are not honest with themselves.



If those same people really cared AT ALL about how fighters portray themselves they wouldnt give someone a pass because "they are honest and funny". That's hypocrisy... and that's the real facade... the ones who take the time to judge fighters but play favorites instead of judging on equal terms.

Thats just how you perceive it I dont think Jones has ever tried to hide anything, its already quite apparent people only hear what they want to hear, but dont try to spin it you a hypocrite

Im liking how motivated Rampage is though! I still think Jones will be too much for him, but we can live in hope

Where the hell have you been? Anton's been worried sick !!!

personally i dont recognize the guilt everybody is thanking about, maybe because he is defending himself too much?



i do believe there was spy because how else as page said could manager know there was old training partner of jones with page.



the fight is getting really good hyped up by this, will probably be big money for ufc with this one

So if Rampage is using an old training partner of Jon Jones, then whats the difference if Jones knows his strategy?

Is there some reason why his manager, if he got one piece of information off twitter, has to be getting all of his information from twitter? Maybe his manager was calling up people that Jones has trained with, trying to get a couple more people into the camp, and he discovered that one person was already occupied training someone else? And the person that answered the phone let it slip where it was he was training? That's not even a terribly unlikely scenario. It's not like people just vanish off the face of the planet the moment you're done with them.

talking about sorry*

Oh man " trash talk " isn't what it was anymore.

It takes two to tango. Rampage has some of the best in the biz when he has a willing verbal participant. Seems like Jones is taking it way to personal, which was pretty funny in itself.

Jones sounds worried.. he got that "frog" in his throat... like he wanna cry Lol...

Yeah, he kind of did sound that way actually. Rampage is a veteran at mental warfare and Jones would have been better off not bringing up the incident. When it's all said and done though it really won't matter what they said to eachother once that cage door locks. I just hope it's a good fight.

Well Joe Rogan's b*tch a$$ brought it up, not Jon Jones.

and Jones didn't have to feed into it :-D . A simple "I wasn't aware of any spies and I'm about to beat down Rampage on the 24th" would have been suffice. Instead he got too wordy with a veteran of words. 2 people not to talk smack with at 205..Rampage Jackson and Rashad Evans

You are both wrong. Apparently, neither of you listened to the interview because if you did, you would know that neither Jones, nor Rogan (who's "b*tch a$$" could probably choke or knock you out in under 30 seconds) brought it up first. Rampage did by saying, "We know he's watching, he's watching MY TRAINING..."

@mousasi:

Actually, I think you're missing the point. What I was saying was that Jonny Bones had an opportunity to shut the whole spying convo down. Instead, he chose to try to turn it into a trash talking segment which he failed at miserably in my opinion. Yeah, we know Rampage made reference to it and Rogan then specifically asked the question. On another note, unless you truly know anything about marshaltheskin, you really don't know if Rogan can choke or knock him out in under 30 seconds or not. Who knows, maybe he already fought Rogan and is calling him names based on a personal experience. Anyhow, that's all for now. :-D

The way I'm thinking is maybe the whole spy thing is just to promote the fight, cause both these guys are fan favorites so the UFC can't do the simple good guy - bad guy approach without a little bit of a backstory.



Might be completely wrong though, but it's something to think about I guess

Yeah that's exactly what I think.



I don't believe its just a coincidence that Rampage mentioned that 2 days after the last PPV when Jones/Jackson is the one up next, and it just happened to be the exact time you are supposed to be hyping up the fight.

Man, Jones gets pretty flustered. And his s#!t talkin game is nowhere near Quentin's, lol.

lmao look at Joe's face in the very last second.



Hard not to get flustered in a verbal war with Rampage. The guy's an unstoppable force in that arena. In the cage, on the other hand... I don't see him winning this, as much as I want him to.

Of course, this was all a set up to promote the fight. Jones was awkward as usual, and Rampage was--well he was Rampage--as usual.



Rampage is using his bluster and accusations to take Jones off his game and to promote the upcoming fight.



I really think Rampage has gotten to Jones mentally.



Whether or not Jones is affected come fight time is debateable--but Rampage has done his part to knock Jones off of his pedestal.



One thing Jones needs to learn is that you cannot half-trash talk and half-respect your opponent. Jones was actually pretty funny when he spluttered in indignation to Rampage's barbs.

I agree, but anything Jones does these days, people complain about. If he only shows respect people say he puts himself on a pedestal, if he trash talks people say hes ****y, and if he half-trash talks people say it makes him look bad.



Feel kinda bad for the guy, People treat him like he's Floyd Mayweather or something...



Meanwhile, people don't even recognize how the whole situation was brought up by them being forced to hype the fight, which is the obvious reason for their actions. But people will take it how they want to take it and interpret that as w/e they want anyway...

hahaha @ rogan's face at the end, O_O

The reason i feel Jones has an advantage on most fighter is because of his greco roman wrestling.

But in this fight i dont think he has that advantage , Rampage is a good wrestler and hes very strong.

on the stand up Jones is more dynamic but Rampage has more power.

i hope Rampage wins , but i think Jones will take this by Decision

Rampage wins this interview by unanimous decision... unfortunately, I do not see this fight going that way.



I think Jones' reach, speed and unpredicability will allow him avoid Rampages bombs, systematically pick him apart, and stop my all-time favorite LHW via TKO in the 4th round.... I really hope I'm wrong though.

I am really worried for Jones and how he is handling being a champion, not sure at all he is mentally strong enough. It is kind of weird that Rampage can almost bring him to tears like that.
